Bicyclist Rides 1,300 Miles For Suicide Prevention & Depression

DENVER (CBS4) - A man is tackling suicide and depression one pedal at a time. Denny Ying set out to bike 1,300 miles from Denver to Chicago in the name of suicide prevention among first responders.

Ying will spend time at a Denver firehouse Sunday night ahead of his mission.

In a blog on his #TeamRideForHope website, he says he suffered loss of love and business in his life which sparked this idea.

"I invite, encourage, and support other individuals who seek a breakthrough and want to give their lives a chance and experience something they would've never experienced otherwise," he said on the website.
